The workshop convened climate modelers, ecologists, and other expert users of climate data to talk about how High-Resolution Climate Modeling (HRCM) can better inform socioecological adaptation projects in the northern Great Plains of the U.S. The three primary themes were: precipitation, land surface feedbacks, and HRCM usability.

Jill Lackett and Dennis Ojima will discuss the reviving of the monthly adaptation working group webinars, share the current schedule of upcoming webinars, give a brief Open Science Conference recap, including a summary of SES work going on in the region that was presented at the conference and an introduction to the science needs discussion.
